In the simulation studies in the next section, we study the methods
under fixed-sample monitoring, as in our experience this approach is
most common in practice. Moreover, while performance of
information-based monitoring with statistics that possess the
independent increments property has been
well-studied[1]}, [2]}, because our approach to
characterizing proportion of information in fixed-sample monitoring
based on the proposed effective sample size measure is new,
evaluation of its performance is required.
